Primary Goals

The primary goal of the MDI is to work toward the continued economic growth and competitiveness of the Mediterranean region, while focusing its activities on North African countries (Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, and Tunisia). The MDI accomplishes its mission by working closely with local, regional and international stakeholders in order to establish a platform for dialogue, devise diagnostics, find innovative solutions and help implement them. In doing so, MDI relies on participative democracy to identify relevant actors and to assess pertinent needs.

The core activities of the MDI were developed in line with the following goals:

Facilitating dialogue about major challenges to economic growth and regional integration and cooperation.

Helping accelerate reforms, further liberalization and overall improvement of business environment through advocacy efforts directed towards decision-makers and authorities.

Facilitating networking between business people in the Mediterranean (especially the Maghreb) region in collaboration with national associations.

Setting up cross-border projects, through the identification and prioritization of marketable and economically profitable and sustainable projects, on the basis of comprehensive strategies and policy planning.

Serving as a collective voice for businesswomen and businessmen to other corporations, professional associations, governments, multilateral organizations, civil society organizations etc..
